Thursday morning I have to take my dog to the vets to be put to sleep, he's only 2.5 years old
He's a dogue de bordeaux pedigree. He has crucia ligament damage on both back knees, needs a full hip replacement and his front legs are damaged too. He also has osteo arthritis and bone damage.
We are totally gutted with the news. So much for pedigree dogs being the best.
We bought him from a so called reputable breeder in Portsmouth in January 2011 (born 31/10/10). His parents were huge and I mean huge. His dad was 14st (so they said, but he was massive).
We only wanted a pet nothing more so we weren't looking for a show dog.
He started having a skin problem which turned out to be allergies to whey, blue fish, and loads more but we got that under control. Then we noticed a limp so got him to the vets for xrays, only to find out about his hip displacia and early arthritis. We tried to contact the breeders but they never answered our calls or emails or Facebook PM's.
Now the day has almost come to say goodbye to him. We are just deeply saddened that at this age we had to make the decision for his sake.
Sorry for the post but I just need to.... vent my anger and sadness.
